COMPOSITE RECEPTACLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 666,090, dated January 15, 1901.

Application filed September 19, 1900. Serial No. 30,509. (No model.)

To all wir/0m, t may oon/cern:

Be it known that I, ALPHoNs DRYnoos, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State Of New York, have invented a new and Improved Composite Receptacle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved composite receptacle for containing differentliquids and solid articles and substances and arranged to permit convenient pouring of any one of the liquidsl without danger of spilling any of the other liquids and the other articles or substances and to allow ready removal of any one of the articles whenever desired.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure] is a perspective view of the improvelnent with the cap shownremoved. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same on the line 2 2 in Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 is a sectional plan View of the same on the line 3 3 in Fig. 2.

The improved composite receptacle illustrated in the drawings consists, essentially, of a plurality of sections A B C, approXi mately triangular in sectional plan view and secured together by a skeleton covering D, formed with side bars D', extending over the external joints of the several sectionsA B C, as is plainly indicated in Figs. l and 3, and said side bars D terminate at their upper ends in an integral tubular portion D2, extending along the neck of the bottle-shaped receptacle formed by the sections A, B, and C. The lower ends of the side bars D are secured to an annular base D3 by the use of suitable bolts D4 or other fastening devices, so that the sections A B C are securely locked together within the skeleton covering, the sections resting on the base D2, as indicated in Fig. 2.

The sections A and B represent bottles and are adapted to receive liquids of different kinds, the mouths A B of said sections extending above the upper end of the tubular portion D2 of the skeleton covering D. The other section, C, is open on top below the beginning of the tubular portion D2, and this open top is adapted to be closed by a lid D5, forming part of the skeleton covering D and hinged to the tubular portion thereof, as is plainly illustrated in the drawings. The section C is adapted to contain cigars or other solid articles or substances, and convenient access is had to said section by the operator swinging the cover or lid D5 upward.

On the top of the tubular portion D2 of the skeleton covering is secured a receptacle F in the shape of a match-box or the like and formed with a base portion F', which, in conjunction with the base portions A2 and B2 of the mouths A' and B of the sections A and B, form a cylindrical bearing for the cap E, adapted to inclose said mouths A B' as well as the upper end of the receptacle F. The lower end of the cap E is preferably formed with an angular iiange E', adapted to rest on a corresponding fiange or bead D6, integral with the upper end of the tubular portion D2 of the covering. The receptacle F is preferably provided with a hinged spring-pressed lid F2 to permit of closing the receptacle, which latter is preferably used for containing matches or other articles and substances. It is understood. that the mouths A and B of the sections A and B are normally closed by suitable corks or other Stoppers, which can be conveniently removed when it is desired to pour the contents of one of the sections into a glass or the like.

From the foregoing it is evident that convenient access is had to any one of the individual receptacles to enable the operator to pour liquid from any one of the bottles without danger of spilling the liquid in the other bottles or to allow of removing an article or substance whenever it is desired to make use of the same.

The sections A, B, and C of the casing are preferably made of glass and the skeleton covering or frame D is preferably made of metal.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire t0 Secure by Letters Patent- IOO 1. A composite receptacle' comprising a plurality of sections forming together a unitary body, and a covering inclosing said sections and provided at its upper end With a contracted tubular portion or neck serving as a handle for said body and also asa means for preventing an upward movement of the the side bars, and a base upon which the sections are set and connected with the lower ends of lthe side bars..

ary body, a covering provided with a neck and inclosing said sections, and alid hin-ged j to the covering at one side thereof below the neck and arranged to close one of said sections.

4. A composite receptacle comprising a plurality of sections forming together a unitary body, a covering inclosing said sections and provided at its upper end with a contracted tubular portion or neck serving as a handle for said body and also as a means for preventing an upward movement of the sections, and a cap adapted to rest on the Asaid neck.

5. A composite receptacle comprising a plurality of sections forming together a unitary body, a covering inclosing said sections and contractedat its upper end to prevent upward movement of the sections, and a base detachably connected with said covering to permit of introducing and removing the said :sections 3. A composite receptacle comprising a 1 plurality of sections forming together a unit- ID testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses;
